sending my love from the other side of the apocalypse.
― independent, private, selective joker from persona 5 / royal as written by peppermint
ONE. first off, hi! peppermint / she/they / 25+.i will not interact with muns under 18! this blog is mutuals only, due to bad experiences i have had in the rpc. while i'm open to interacting regardless of fandom, i'm extremely selective with who i'm follow; please don't take it personally. i'm just here to vibe! that said, please ensure you have an about page for your ocs! TWO. while it's certainly evolved and changed over the years, my portrayal of joker was initially based very heavily in my thoughts / reactions to my first playthrough of persona 5. it's very near and dear to my heart.because of this, please do not call joker akira kurusu or ren amamiya. i don't care if they're his canon names. this is my portrayal and his name is hibiki fujiwara. i will unfollow if this is not respected. it's happened before. THREE. while i am open to crossovers, i will not interact with the following fandoms:• . . . genshin impact
• . . . final fantasy
• . . . kingdom hearts
• . . . undertale / deltarune
• . . . my hero acadamia
• . . . hetalia
• . . . i'm extremely selective with regards to fire emblem FOUR. my activity can be pretty sporadic. i work full time at a job that is admittedly really mentally draining and i also have other blogs that i may want to hop on, so i may not always feel up to writing! i'll generally be around on weekends. probably. you're free to ask me about asks / prompts / threads / what have you, but please don't pester me!when it comes to memes, please do not reblog them from me without sending something in. please reblog from the source.you can send memes in whenever you like! if you're going digging through my meme tag, though, please either let me know it's from somewhere deep in there.
FIVE. i am willing to interact and ship with duplicate muses. i don't practice exclusives, but i do practice mains! SIX. standard rp rules apply. don't godmod, metagame, or anything like that. racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, etc are not acceptable ooc. if your character is a jerk, they are allowed to be a jerk. but the second i catch it ooc, i will hard block. SEVEN. as far as content goes, i am willing to write darker themes and subject matter beyond what's already depicted in the game. any such content will be tagged appropriately.i, however, will not be writing explicit nsfw content. hibiki is a minor. he may make references to it, teenager that he is and, well, the fact that kamoshida exists, but i will not be writing him participating in it, even with fades to black. this applies to verses where hibiki is an adult, as well. just for consistency.with regards to shipping, i ship primarily based on chemistry.that said, i will not ship hibiki with anyone more than two years older than him. hibiki is 16 at the start of persona 5 / royal, and celebrates his birthday partway through the game. therefore, the cut-off age for ships is 19 years old. he especially will not be shipped with the adult confidants ( ie; kawakami, takemi, iwai, maruki, etc. ) if you even suggest this to me you will be hardblocked. EIGHT. with regards to tagging, i'm willing to tag anything upon request! by default, i tag triggering content as #example //. just let me know you'd like something tagged and i'll take care of it!my catch-all tag for content i don't want to see is #peppermint don't look //.
for my personal comfort, i'd appreciate it greatly if the following content was tagged as i'm kinda scared of them:• . . . realistic deptictions of spiders, needles, and gore. written / clearly animated or "unreal" depictions are fine.these aren't phobias of mine, but i hate them and don't want to see them. i will unfollow for it.• . . . genshin impact
• . . . final fantasy
• . . . kingdom hearts
• . . . in the case of fire emblem, first gen/second gen ships ( ie; robin/lucina ), corrin/royal ships ( ie; corrin/xander ), and byleth/rhea or byleth/student ships ( ie; byleth/edelgard or byleth/dimitri ).

THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS. PLEASE HOLD. BACKSTORY GOES HERE. THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS. PLEASE HOLD. PERSONALITY DESCRIPTION GOES HERE.
POINTS OF CANON DIVERGENCE • . . . the glasses are real. hibiki is nearsighted. he usually wears contact lenses, but the stress of the incident with shido and the woman has made the thought of putting them in super uncomfortable for hibiki. he does have them with him just in case, he just... doesn't want to wear them. in the metaverse, his mask doubles as his glasses.• . . . yusuke latched onto hibiki as his muse rather than ann. while he fixated on ann initially, he switched gears once hibiki and ryuji got between them. yusuke's gonna yusuke, so it's still uncomfortable for hibiki, but at least ann isn't being sexualized immediately after dealing with kamoshida.• . . . the times akechi and makoto join the party are swapped. akechi joins for kaneshiro's palace, while makoto joins for sae's. for more information, see this post.• . . . any scenes that take place in the bathhouse take place in the diner instead. hibiki is not willing to bathe with the guys until at least strikers.• . . . kawakami's confidant is entirely different, dear god. while hibiki does pay to have her come over, no weird maid stuff happens. she either gets to take a break from working two jobs or tutors him.

THE LAST ACE IN A LOST HAND.
[ persona 5 / royal ]
the events of persona 5 / royal, untagged by default. defaults to the plot of royal.
. . . points of plot relevant canon divergence:
• . . . yusuke latched onto hibiki as his muse rather than ann. while he fixated on ann initially, he switched gears once hibiki and ryuji got between them.
• . . . the times akechi and makoto join the party are swapped. akechi joins for kaneshiro's palace, while makoto joins for sae's. for more information, see this post. i'm willing to write canon compliant verses, though.
• . . . any scenes that take place in the bathhouse take place in the diner instead. hibiki is not willing to bathe with the guys until at least strikers.
• . . . kawakami's confidant is entirely different, dear god. while hibiki does pay to have her come over, no weird maid stuff happens. she either gets to take a break from working two jobs or tutors him. WELCOME BACK TO YOUR MAGIC SHOW.
[ persona 5: strikers ]
the events of persona 5: strikers. when hibiki intends to spend his summer vacation in tokyo with his friends, he unwittingly ends up the prime suspect in a change of heart epidemic sweeping the nation. determined to get to the bottom of this, the phantom thieves reform and go on a road trip to dismantle the jails and find the culprit. IT'S TIME TO TAKE A STEP UP.

I THOUGHT I'D BE FOREVER BY YOUR SIDE PROTECTING YOU.
[ xenoblade chronicles 3 ]
an agnian solider from colony rho, hibiki fights to live and lives to fight. though he knows questioning the way of the world is fruitless, he can't help but wonder if there isn't more to life than just endless war... he is the trickster class, an attacker class / defender class ( i need to pick one ) built around either critical hits or dodge tanking that deals more physical damage the higher his agility is. regardless of role, you want to speed stack the boy.this iteration of hibiki is based on the gormotti version from xenoblade chronicles 2, but he also has a core crystal embedded in his chest. HEROES BRINGING US HOPE'S LIGHT.
[ fire emblem: heroes ]
hibiki is summoned to zenith partway through book ii of the main story. from his perspective, he'd just walked through leblanc's door after returning from the police station. he is a red infantry dagger hero that boasts high attack and speed, but low defenses.
. . . sub verses:
• . . . summoner hibiki: the same as above, but hibiki is the summoner of askr.
• . . . consort of the dead: an variant of the summoner hibiki who ended up marrying his alfonse, even having children with him. unfortunately for hibiki, hel invaded, killed his in-laws, and his husband doomed their entire world by activating angrboða's heart. after being freed from his slumber in hel's castle, where he and his daughters were being used as insurance to keep líf in line, the now dead hibiki takes on the name jun to both distinguish himself from his younger counterpart, and honour the father he'll never see again.
NO PLOT LIMITS YOUR FREEDOM.
[ persona q2: new cinema labryinth ]

COLOURS WEAVE INTO A SPIRAL OF FLAME.
[ super smash brothers: ultimate / world of light ]
hibiki's been invited to participate in a certain interdimensional fighting tournament! covers both generic 'tournament / smash house' plots and world of light, which is canon divergent from what we see in game.after galeem's attack and destruction of the multiverse, hibiki is rescued from possession by marth, and the two team up with princess zelda and the aegis sisters pyra and mythra to liberate as many spirits and fighters as they can, and hopefully restore the world back to what it was. when equipped with spirits, hibiki can use his wild card ability to use them like personas. however, he's limited to only carrying six at a time like at the start of persona 5. the velvet room can be found in the mall of the city area upon freeing igor's and the twins' spirits.. . . world of light persona stock:

• . . . goro akechi. ( takes up two slots; one for robin hood and one for loki )

• . . . arsene ( dark / attacker ).
• . . . futaba sakura. ( light / healer; flesh eater blade ).
• . . . maybe sophia down the line? ( probably light / attacker ). SOMEDAY I'LL HOLD YOU IN MY ARMS AND HOLD ALL YOUR DREAMS.
[ tokyo mew mew ]
single ship verse with bp's ryou shirogane.hibiki fujiwara is one unlucky guy. one minute he's bringing his boyfriend a cup of coffee while he's working on some science-y wizardry, the next bu-ling huang's racing down into the lab with the all the force of a tiny yellow hurricane and knocking hibiki into an active experiment. thankfully, he just so happens to be a perfect match for the dna of the black footed cat.
when ryou offers to change him back, hibiki declines and instead offers to join tokyo mew mew in order to bolster their numbers; it's not like he's a stranger to combat, after all. though ryou isn't thrilled with the idea, he agrees to it. and so, tokyo mew mew gains their first male member: mew mocha! DON'T EVER TAKE BACK YOUR KIND HAND.
[ fire emblem: three houses ]
